BA (Honours) Social Work (England)

Some would believe social workers support and protect some of society’s most deprived and vulnerable people. It’s immensely challenging and rewarding work, requiring a high level of motivation and commitment. You also need a qualifying degree (open.ac.uk).

The University of Southampton (UK) with a student population of 17,000 undergraduate and 7,000 postgraduate students announced on February 21, through the University Executive Group that, it will close all major social work courses and related programs by mid-2013, as the last of the current students complete their studies.

Social Workers

Southampton is highly regarded as a centre for educational excellence and outstanding teaching, considered one of the top universities in the UK, ranking nationally as a top 15 university in various tables.  The university is a member of the Russell Group of research universities committed to the highest levels of academic excellence in both teaching and research.  On 29 April 1952, Queen Elizabeth II granted the University of Southampton a Royal Charter, the first to be given to a university during her reign, which enabled it to award degrees. The university celebrated its Golden Jubilee on 22 January 2002. By this time, Southampton had research income that represented over half of the total income, which remains one of the highest proportions of income derived from research activities of British Universities.  (Wikipedia)
